Ingredients
Scale
Caramel Mixture
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Layers
- 70 – 80 club crackers
Chocolate Coating
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips or wafers
Instructions
- Prepare caramel mixture: In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, evaporated milk, and brown sugar. Stir the ingredients together to mix thoroughly.
- Boil caramel: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Layer first crackers: While the caramel mixture boils, line a 9×13 inch pan with one layer of club crackers, placing them salt side up evenly across the pan.
- Count crackers: Count how many crackers you have used to estimate the quantity for two more layers of equal size.
- Pour first half caramel: After boiling, immediately pour half of the hot caramel mixture evenly over the first layer of crackers, spreading it gently to cover all pieces.
- Add second cracker layer: Place a second layer of club crackers on top of the caramel layer, lining them up as neatly as the first layer.
- Pour second half caramel: Pour the remaining caramel mixture evenly over the second cracker layer and spread it out consistently.
- Add final cracker layer: Place the last layer of club crackers on top of the second caramel layer to finish the layering.
- Chill layers: Refrigerate the layered cracker and caramel assembly until fully set, typically about 1-2 hours.
- Crush layers: Once set, break the layered cracker slab into smaller pieces and crush them in a food processor until finely ground but still slightly chunky.
- Form truffle balls: Scoop out the crushed mixture and shape into small truffle balls approximately 3/4 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and chill for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate: While truffles chill, melt the dark chocolate chips or wafers using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Coat truffles: Remove chilled truffles from the fridge and dip each one individually into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Set chocolate coating: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated truffles until the chocolate firms up, about 15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, serve these rich and crunchy Cracker Toffee Truffles as a sweet treat or dessert delight.
Notes
- Be careful when boiling the caramel mixture to prevent burning.
- Arrange club crackers evenly for best structural layering.
- Chilling times may vary depending on your fridge; ensure truffles are firm before dipping.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor coating.
